Gangaram Chaudhary is not your all-white, do-no-wrong protagonist. That is what drew Abhishek Bachchan to Dasvi that sees him play corrupt politician Gangaram who sets out to clear his 10th standard examination from prison. To the actor, the film is an example of fine writing as it turns the idea of a hero on its head. “We don’t have a set image of what a hero should be. The protagonist of a story should overcome the obstacles that his journey throws at him; that makes him heroic. I don’t necessarily feel that a hero has to conquer through his physical strength. I enjoyed where Gangaram came from and where he was going in the course of the film,” says the actor, describing his flawed character as “refreshing.”
